	Economic Geography: Postwar development in the Asian NICs: Does the neoliberal model fit reality? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In this paper I address such questions by examining several controversial aspects of NIC development: the role of the state in development, the compatibility of inward- and outward-oriented elements of development, and the influence of particular geographic and historical conditions on development.
		The development experience of the Asian NICs is seen as the result of an evolutionary process of industrially induced modernization and structural transformation, which the remainder of the South could replicate.
		Successful emulation of the NIC experience is thought to depend on locating an appropriate development niche within the global economy which may be exploited by implementing sound development policies based on conventional neoclassical economic principles.

	NRA-ILA :: Fact Sheets
		According to the FBI, NICS "will be a national database containing records of persons who are disqualified from receiving firearms." The NICS computer and analysis center is located in West Virginia, and the FBI is in charge of its operation.
		NICS will include records from the Department of Defense concerning dishonorable discharges, records from the State Department regarding people who have renounced their citizenship and other information not available in criminal records.
		Purchases of firearms, for which the Secretary of the Treasury determines compliance with NICS to be impractical because of the ratio of law enforcement officers to land area of the state (less than 25 officers per 10,000 square miles) and the absence of telecommunications facilities, are also exempt.

	Federal Bureau of Investigation - Press Room - Congressional Testimony (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The NICS is a system established by the attorney general to provide information to gun dealers on whether a transfer to a non-licensee of any firearm, including handguns and long guns, would violate federal or state law.
		The NICS examiner will take the transaction out of the delay queue, and review the record to determine whether it is complete, whether it matches the prospective buyer, and whether it demonstrates that the person is disqualified from possessing a gun.
		A typical example of a NICS transaction leading to a default proceed involves a record showing a felony-related arrest, which is not a brady disqualifier in and of itself, with no information to indicate whether the case was prosecuted and whether it resulted in a conviction.

	GAO report NICS
		NICS officials told us, however, that the FBI would not lose any routine audit capabilities under the proposed policy for next-day destruction of records.
		If the FBI finds a record showing an allowed transfer to a "prohibited person" (e.g., a transfer to an alien who is illegally or unlawfully in the United States), that record indicates a potential violation of law, and the FBI may disclose the record to the appropriate law enforcement entity.
		For example, under the proposed next-day destruction policy, NICS records of allowed firearms transfers would no longer be available for a detailed comparison with dealer records of the purportedly same transactions.

	KC3 Seeks To Restore NICS Exception for KY CCDW Licensees
		One of the intents of this legislation was to provide for conducting a record check on license applicants in the manner necessary to exercise the exception to the NICS requirements under the “Brady Law” on the purchase of a firearm.
		The logical conclusion, therefore, is that applicants for a Kentucky license permitting the concealed carry of deadly weapons shall have a NICS check performed prior to issuance of the license.
		If he agrees that a NICS must be done on all applicants, then we can go back to the BATF and ask if the exception will then be granted.

		By auditing the system, the FBI can identify instances in which the NICS is used for unauthorized purposes, such as running checks of people other than actual gun transferees, and protect against the invasions of privacy that would result from such misuse.
		This position was effectively advocated by the Department, upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on July 11, 2000, and left undisturbed by the U.S. Supreme Court on June 25, 2001.
		Further evidence of the complete absence of any justification for the proposed rule is the manner in which it came about—in stark contrast with the 90-day rule which was twice suspended and now has been put into effect, albeit in a hobbled form, as a placeholder while the proposed rule is pending.

	Dave Kopel & Glenn Reynolds on guns & terrorism on National Review Online
		The stated purpose of these records was to audit NICS, to make sure it wasn't being misused (e.g., to ensure that gun dealers were not requesting instant checks on people who were not their customers — for example, in case a gun-store owner started requesting background checks on his daughter's boyfriends).
		The Reno regulation forbids the use of the NICS registry for general law enforcement purposes, while allowing registry use for auditing the performance of NICS, as well as for civil or criminal cases arising from the operation of NICS.
		Yet — even for aliens who slipped through the current, incomplete NICS list — if anyone purchases more than one handgun in a five-day period, his purchases are reported to federal and local law enforcement, and those records are currently available for checking.

	FAST NICs
		A recent NIC market report from Cahners In-Stat Group, a high-tech market research company in Newton, Mass., said Fast Ethernet NICs accounted for about 75 percent of the 53.5 million NICs sold last year and are likely to grab an even higher percentage of the market this year.
		A NIC’s speed is determined by two main factors: the number of bits it can handle and the processor it is built around.
		A 64-bit PCI NIC can process data twice as fast as a 32-bit NIC, but because 32-bit PCI buses are still most commonplace in servers, 32-bit NICs continue to dominate the marketplace.

		NICS): According to a report released by Americans for Gun Safety Foundation in January 2002, millions of records are missing from the NICS database.

		That is because when a restraining order, drug abuse or mental health record is missing, nothing in the NICS system indicates a reason to delay the sale and search records.
